This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the existence a nonlinear effect imported technology on industrial employment, which has been largely overlooked in literature. To achieve this objective, article employed panel data models using non-linear threshold regression (PTR) approaches for sample developed and developing countries over period technological advancement from 2000 2019. Seve...

This paper investigates the nonlinear relationship between capital structure and firm performance in MENA region using a sample of 499 listed firms over 2007–2020 period, or 6986 firm-year observations. Specifically, we examine size-threshold effect structure–firm nexus. To do so, this study applies dynamic panel threshold regression model (DPTR). The findings show that there is debt (Tobin’s Q...

This paper studies the existence for a set of countries of an inflation threshold above which its effect on economic growth is negative, considering the speed of transition from one inflation regime to the other. Using a panel data set of above 120 countries for the period after the Second World War, we apply a panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model with fixed effects. The estimated th...

This paper investigates the non-linear effects produced by main determinants of sovereign ratings issued Moody’s agency. Using a sample 29 countries observed over 2000–2019 period, we identify factors leading country to be classified, respectively, in speculative, moderately and highly speculative grades. The fixed effect logit estimates reveal that independent variables on are largely differen...
